The General and His Enemy Your Highness
Chapter 84 Re-chapter Yong'an, bestowing the word Zeyuan
The cold fragrance floated, clear and elegant, His Highness raised his body slightly, glanced at the young man with a bowed head beside him with a half-smile, and signaled, "Crying and yelling and refusing to leave, he said he wanted to stay and wait on him."
Yilang's face turned pale with fright, he entered the Chu Pavilion early on, even if he took the deed of selling himself and left, he didn't know what to do, it's better to hold on to the prince and reach the sky in one step, seeing that the young Fifth Highness is soft-hearted, this Only then took the risk and begged to stay.
However, the handsome prince's expression was unpredictable, he narrowed his eyes and remained silent for a while, before he stepped forward, pinched the soft cheek on the side of the little highness with his fingers, and said bitterly: "Who are you serving? Serving you?"
Chu Ce slowly pushed his wrist away to save his face, and said innocently, "Didn't the county captain send you?"
"I don't want it!" King Xiping gritted his teeth, but saw His Highness pursing his lips, seeming to feel aggrieved, without saying a word, and staring at him quietly with those clear eyes.
Mei Geng thought belatedly, could Xiao Ce be...jealous?
Last night he was drunk and bullied him, and today someone sent three male servants. King Xiping felt a little guilty and coughed lightly: "Stop making trouble, send someone to send him back."
As soon as he finished speaking, the more dignified Yilang knelt down on the ground and cried again.
Mei Geng suddenly had a headache, half-closed his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Get lost."
Yilang trembled in fright, and looked pitifully at the fifth highness who was still smiling, but unexpectedly, the young highness who was always soft-spoken looked calm and said softly: "The prince told you to go out."
After he retreated, the room was quiet for a while, Mei Geng sighed, thinking that Qin Gui was too careless in doing things, and asked him to send him to Master Xin, but the person was in Chu Ce's hands, and sat down in desperation to take him away. Hold it in your arms, "If you don't like it, why bring it back as an eyesore?"
The child in his arms snuggled up obediently, and whispered, "It's all because of you."
Mei Geng laughed and called for grievances, and said: "My sincerity can be learned from all over the world. Even if there are past and present lives, you are the only one. What kind of vinegar are you eating blindly?"
Chu Ce didn't respond, and after a while he said dully, "I know."
"Know that you are still making trouble?" Mei Geng kissed the child's forehead, devout and intimate, free from lust and worldliness.
Chu Ce was a little sluggish, and muttered something with lowered eyes, but Mei Geng could only hear the sentence clearly: "I'm afraid you don't want me."
When his mind was sensitive and he felt that something was missing, Mei Geng thought for a while, but couldn't come up with a clue, so he coaxed: "Who else can I want besides you? Thinking about it all day, why don't you follow me to practice inner strength."
Chu Ce refused to speak anymore, Mei Geng thought he was throwing a temper tantrum, until he inadvertently saw his hand clutching her wide sleeve, his knuckles turned white, and even trembled slightly.
He is really afraid.
Mei Geng didn't understand what he was afraid of, since he woke up this morning, the two of them slept together and had a lot of intimacy, even if he did something last night, he wouldn't be so scared.
Mei Geng also became more and more uneasy, he hadn't drunk alcohol for a long time, could it be that he was so drunk that he confused Chu Ce from the previous life with the present?
The palms suddenly cooled down, Mei Geng was silent for a moment, and said softly: "Xiao Ce, don't be afraid, there will be no one else, no matter what, I will only have you."
But no matter what he said, Chu Ce didn't say anything more, his suppressed panic was obvious, and even hidden despair like thick ink.
In the end both of them fell silent, Mei Geng was really at a loss what to do, so he simply said: "Xiao Ce, as long as you live up to me, Mei Geng will definitely not do anything to hurt you in this life."
Chu Ce suddenly raised his head, hesitatingly said: "What if... what if I have to?"
This time it was Mei Geng who fell silent.
In troubled times, if you want to be single-minded and stay together, it is as difficult as reaching the sky.
Suddenly——
A flash of inspiration flashed in Mei Geng's mind, and he remembered the words Chu Ce said in his previous life before he set off for the expedition.
——For this expedition, there will be more bad luck than good luck, Mei Geng, I allow you to resign.
At that time, Chu Ce seemed to have anticipated something, knowing that once King Xiping resigned, there would be almost no generals in command in the court, and the battle would be lost.
In addition to what Chu Ce just said, what if it is a last resort?
What if... it is a last resort?
Panic spread from the bottom of my heart, as if a huge boulder was pressing on my chest, it was as if I couldn't breathe, and the once hysterical hatred seemed to turn into shame at this moment.
Was there any unspeakable last resort for Chu Ce at that time?
In a daze, the child grabbed his hand and shook it twice, Mei Geng lowered his eyes, kissed his brow again, and murmured softly: "Xiao Ce..."
"Don't be afraid." Mei Geng hugged him tightly, his eyes were complicated but tender, and he sighed, "Even if you have to, just tell me, and this life will be given to you."
Chu Ce shook his head lightly, "If there is such a day, I want you to live."
After a while, he added another sentence, "But don't force it."
Mei Geng laughed, "Why don't you force it?"
Chu Ce said seriously, "I want you to live a good life. If you don't live well, you might as well be buried with me."
"..." Mei Geng was dumbfounded for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, I'll be buried for you."
The sun reflected the cold snow, the golden glow was finely shattered, Xiping Wang Huan hugged the young man, thinking about the first meeting 26 years ago, and thinking about the farewell half a year ago, he personally killed Chu Ce, in such a cruel way.
What's ridiculous is that he now faintly senses that maybe Chu Ce didn't attack him because he was afraid of him.
In the end, Yilang, who wanted to stay, was sent back, and he did not return the deed of sale. The news that the county captain sent three beauties to King Xiping spread like wildfire, but none of them were left behind. After being reprimanded by County Magistrate Xin for an hour, no one dared to send live animals to other courtyards since then.
After the new year was still frosty, Chu Ce's complexion became better and better, and he even grew some flesh. At least Mei Geng didn't see any sign of an early death.
The excavation of the canal will inevitably require manpower. King Xiping recruited laborers in the vicinity of Linzhang. He never forced them, and ordered various merchants to raise funds. At first, there were dissatisfaction. King Xiping was oppressed by power and had to reluctantly pay for it.
After the Awakening of Insects is the vernal equinox, the Zhang River thaws and the canal starts construction.
King Xiping and His Highness the Fifth Prince took the lead and gave up their brocade robes to mingle with craftsmen and laborers. As a result, laborers continued to come to recruit, and the excavation speed was much faster than expected.
Inch time passes by, the seasons rotate, and it is another year.
During this period, Feng Chengyu spread the news that something had happened to Yong'an, and Feng Sunan didn't need to hide anymore, so Feng Sunan, who had been away from disaster for half a year, set off to return to Yong'an. Not long after, Mei Geng received information from Fengyuelou that the murderer was unknown , It seems to be related to Luoyin religion.
Since then, there has been no news.
In the autumn of the 17th year of Xianzhang, in the cold dew, the construction of the canal started for a year and a half, and more than half of it had been completed. After the spring and autumn floods, the flood seemed to be calming down, and the prestige of King Xiping and His Royal Highness rose all the time.
But at this time, an imperial edict from Yong'an came to the court—calling King Xiping and the fifth prince back to the court, and naming the fifth prince Chu Ce as King Huai, bestowing the word Zeyuan, and performing the canonization ceremony after returning to the palace.
Mei Geng sneered endlessly after accepting the imperial decree, only knowing that the fat piece of Yunhe was being targeted by someone, and Chu Hengzhi was afraid of him and Chu Ce, so he hurriedly recalled it.
In the previous life, Chu Ce was bestowed with the character when he was the crown prince, and it was just a random draft of the word Zixian by the Ministry of Rites.
But the imperial decree has been issued, and the Secretary of the Ministry of Industry who accepted the canal will arrive soon, so Mei Geng has to pack up and prepare to return with Chu Ce.
King Xiping and King Huai returned to the court, and they were no longer as unpopular as when they left. There are many rumors about the two of them. King Xiping used his family property to build canals for the benefit of the people.
The two went to Linzhang Road to remove many corrupt officials. Sometimes the ignorance of the people is not a bad thing. At least they don't care about the purpose of King Xiping and the fifth prince, but only care about what they have done for the people.
Since then, King Xiping, whose reputation has spread far and wide, has returned to the court after defeat, and His Highness the Fifth Highness who has been humiliated, are like dusty jade, and at this moment, they are shining with brilliance.
There seemed to be turmoil in the balance between the crown prince and King Luo. King Huai, who was loved by the people, was also closely watched by the court at this time. It was even the fourth prince, King Luo, who came to welcome King Xiping and King Huai.
The guard of honor arrived outside the city in a mighty way. Mei Geng and Chu Ce shared the sedan chair. After all, Chu Ce was directly in the royal family. When they arrived at the gate of the city, King Luo rode on the horse and said with a loud smile, "Fifth brother, King Xiping, I have been ordered by my father to welcome the two of you into the city."
After a while, the curtain of the sedan chair was gently lifted by a jade-like hand, and a quiet and elegant young man walked out of it.In the past two years, Chu Ce's immature eyes have faded a lot. His face is like a crown of jade, and he is a gentleman. He is still wearing the prince's brocade robe before the canonization ceremony.
Mei Geng also came out after him, dressed in a cloud-blue wide-sleeved court dress, embroidered with silver python, with a jade crown on his hair, and tassels hanging on his chest along with his black hair, he abandoned the sedan chair and got on his horse, put on a black ink-colored cloak, and walked far away. Arched hands: "His Royal Highness King Lauro."
King Luo smiled softly and ordered the forbidden army to open the way.
The return to the city was very grand, and there were people watching along the road. The Fifth Highness was afraid of the cold and refused to come out to ride a horse. He hid in the sedan chair and held a stove in his hand. Therefore, the people only saw the unparalleled handsome King Xiping, and they did not know how many girls were disturbed.
Mei Geng was a little surprised when he saw Chu Heng again when he entered the palace, the old emperor was much thinner, his eyes were black and blue, as if he had not slept peacefully for a long time, he looked extremely gloomy.
Less than two years.
And he himself didn't seem to notice it at all, he said a few words in front of civil and military officials and then left, leaving Mei Geng alone.
King Xiping sighed secretly, restraining his emotions.
It was another secret conversation, like the one before he left Yong'an, but it was clear that Chu Hengzhi was quite angry this time.
It's not time to tear your face.
Mei Geng had already thought over and over again, and paid respects in a respectful manner. When Chu Hengzhi asked about the canal, he pushed it to the book that had already been written.
After a few words of falsehood, Chu Hengzhi asked Chu Ce what was going on, why a canal was so popular among the people, Mei Geng pretended to be confused, and said, "I am afraid, and I don't know your majesty's holy will."
Until Mei Geng left the palace, Chu Hengzhi didn't ask anything, and immediately ordered to summon Duke Huai who had just returned to the palace!
Yilang's face turned pale with fright, he entered the Chu Pavilion early on, even if he took the deed of selling himself and left, he didn't know what to do, it's better to hold on to the prince and reach the sky in one step, seeing that the young Fifth Highness is soft-hearted, this Only then took the risk and begged to stay.
However, the handsome prince's expression was unpredictable, he narrowed his eyes and remained silent for a while, before he stepped forward, pinched the soft cheek on the side of the little highness with his fingers, and said bitterly: "Who are you serving? Serving you?"
